ARE YOU BATTLING ANY OF THESE PESTS?
Using innovative new release mechanisms synced with their autopilots, drones uniformly release beneficial insects proven to effectively control populations of these pests.
WHAT IS BIOCONTROL?
Biocontrol (or “biological control”) is a proven method within the field of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) where pest populations are controlled by using their natural enemies. These enemies of my enemies are commonly referred to as “beneficials” or “biological control agents”. UAV-IQ’s IPM services can help create a customized plan and provides a hassle-free service. We also love answering questions about how this cutting-edge service works, so please get in touch with us even if you just want to learn more.
ADVANTAGES OF BIOCONTROL
No pest resistance issues
No post application re-entry times.
No exposure to harmful chemical products.
More sustainable farming – reduced risk of pesticides killing existing natural enemies and pollinators.
WHY RELEASE BENEFICIALS FROM A DRONE?
Limitation of current manual applications:
- Time consuming and labor intensive.
- Lack of precision and uniformity in the release of the beneficials.
- Cannot be applied in some field conditions or tall crops.
- Opportunity cost for not using limited labor for other tasks.
Benefits of UAV-IQ’s aerial biocontrol service:
- Faster application by a single operator / reduced demand for labor.
- More evenly distributed application over larger areas.
- Access areas within challenging terrain (flooded ground, steep hills, etc.).
- Disperse biocontrol agents to the tops of tall crops.
WHY RELEASE BENEFICIALS FROM A DRONE?
